Fang Qiao hung up the phone and waited for the call to be returned.
While waiting, an employee from the grocery store came over to chat with Fang Qiao, and Fang Qiao exchanged a few casual words with her.
About ten minutes later, the phone finally came back. What the other party said was like a wake-up call for Qiao, almost stunning her.
"Are you sure the person you're looking for is a temporary worker in the loading and unloading workshop? There's no such person in the loading and unloading workshop."
"How could that be? He's been working in the loading and unloading workshop for two years."
"There really isn't such a person..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fang Qiao heard another girl whisper in the receiver, "I know this Fang Lu. He was one of the people who were publicly criticized and expelled last month."
"Expulsion?"
"Yes, he's been fired." The voice on the other end of the line changed its tone: "He was fired in the middle of last month, didn't your family know?"
"No, I don't know, he didn't tell his family."
If he had told his family, his mother, Chen Fengxia, would have come to him crying long ago; there wouldn't have been no word from him until today.
Fang Qiao calmed down and asked, "May I ask what he was fired for?"
"I don't know, I just glanced at it casually and didn't pay attention."
"Okay, thank you anyway."
"You are welcome."
After hanging up the phone, she bit her lip, her hand gripping the phone so tightly that the veins on the back of her hand bulged.

Fang Qiao looked displeased, made a few perfunctory remarks, handed her the phone bill, and left.
She hadn't finished her call, but she couldn't continue making it here, otherwise the gossipy shop assistant would spread the word about her family's affairs tomorrow.
